There you go.

AND ONCE AGAIN PEOPLE IT'S NOT PRE-ALPHA. Don't buy that line. Pre-alpha is like...pre-alpha is like the very first paragraph of the first piece of paper you write a rough draft on. All the features that you want to put in the game hasn't even been decided on typically during the pre-alpha stage. This build has full commentary, art, quarters, every team, connection to the EA servers, leaderboards, the exit option for the game and so on, all of that is not available on pre-alpha build of a video game.

Put it like this. You can bet money that there were no more than four teams available on the build of 2K13 that was at E3 and I'll bet money My Player, Association, Dream Team, 2012 Team USA or anything Jay-Z related was not seen or heard by anybody that saw that game and I'm almost 100 percent certain that what was at E3 was pre-alpha 2K.
When I said it was pre- alpha I was being sarcastic lol, I know its not EA just wants people to believe that bullsh*t, and even if it was pre-alpha that shouldnt be an excuse, noo game in 2012 should look that bad at all.

As someone on Kotaku pointed out, it has sound effects in the menu. Why would a pre-alpha ever have menu sound effects? It's one of the last things you would need to implement. At pre-alpha, you're testing the core mechanics of your gameplay. This is way too polished to be pre-alpha.

I'll never understand why EA can scream "copyright" to shut down leaked videos on Youtube even when it is breaking news yet when Kotaku posts that same video it suddenly becomes a real news story that is protected journalism so the EA lawyer brigade can't sue them?

Im laughing st everybody calling this a pre alpha build and don't even know what the heck that means nor can they explain it


On top of that....you ignore the fact that ea had been ignoring you the entire time til a damaging video came out...but they won't show you anything or say anything

Throw in the obvious hints logos..screen features etc....and also the fact that two guys who saw the for real early build at e3 where they took out movement and everybody from os to kotaku to ign all saw it and said it sucked bags but what happens...its ignored like its a game

Then calling posters haters as if that invalidates the truth of the points being made here....

This is truly a sad day when gamers are defending crap while being shunned. Even going as far as saying " hey I'm a fanboy" like that helps the situation at hand.

If you think os is bashing the game then I encourage you go out to the rest of cyberworld and call the people on youtube who are trashing the game for real for what it is a bunch of haters and watch them curse you out and give you another perspective.

Its so bad to see a series regress this bad and every excuse you can conjure up comes out

last time real time physics was the buzzword...now its pre alpha

I'm going to vomit if I keep hearing that word thrown around.

Yall know good and well this ain't no freaking pre alpha

Don't believe me though..go on youtube and look st pre alphas of other games and tell new what's song with this picture


But I know yall won't research yourself...like I said we've seen this movie before

The reason why we haven't heard much since E3 is because of that fact; they have a good marketing department.
This is the same company that released video's of nba elite and actually thought it looked good. I wouldn't put it past them to "leak" this video.

You really don't have the right to say who a gamer is and who isn't. If you prefer live over 2k that's fine with me, less people complaining in the 2k forums. At the end of the day, EA had almost two years, to make this game. They didn't get the full year, because they had to put together a new team, so they basically have the same time to develop their game as 2k.

The problem with live is, it doesn't have a foundation, live has been adding features and features but haven't fixed their core gameplay issues, just like madden. The reason why people can not trust EA is because of EA, they've released Three of the top 5 worse basketball games ever.

1. NBA Elite(EA)
2. NBA Live 07(EA)
3. NBA Live 06 (EA)
4. NBA UNRIVALED (: A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. Games)
5. NBA 2k4(2k)

I don't blame the devs, because the previous devs are the ones that left this mess. I know they are just trying to clean the game up, but live at this point is pretty much over. The amount of separation 2k has over EA in the basketball market is growing with every installment. By the time live is playable, 2k will have already perfected(figurative) it's gameplay. Again your opinion is your opinion, your money is your money, but don't try to discredit others because they don't agree with you.

Was it just the video skipping for me, or did it look like LeBron was doing his best Nightcrawler impression at about the 4 minute mark?

The pre-game was cool. I also liked some of the passing animations. Those are the only positives I saw. There's not really much left for me to say that hasn't already been said about how bad this looks.

EA called it pre-alpha, altough, I have to admit, it does look much farther along than that but it doesn't look like an up-to-date build. At least... I hope it's not. How could they've only come this far with graphics/animations and AI? They should be further along that this, surely.

They weren't that far along when Elite was cancelled a few days before release.

great post, it is sad to see these fans stay loyal to a company that clearly doesn't care about them. But you can not attack others, because their opinion differs from your, the fact that some of you are actually angry at us is ridicules, that anger should go towards EA. We aren't developing this game, and claiming it's pre-alpha. Someone said, "we should lower our standards", why? Is lowering our standards making live better? If anything that's one of the problems right there, you lower your standards for live but raise them for 2k, that's crazy. Make EA accountable and not accepting anything they give you.

Not only that but he does the javale McGee when he passes to battier

Also westbrook has a seizure after that turnover-foul whichever it was

Graphics-wise they were as least. Animation-wise; not so much.

Sounds like I'm defending EA, which I'm not, just trying to make some sense out of the footage.
